HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
Introduction to the Good Practice (GP):
The elderly-friendly housing model programme has been elaborated and carried out by the Hungarian Maltese
Charity Service and financed by the government in 2003-2004with the aim to show that frail elderly people can
continue living at home safely and independently despite their changed functions and the deterioration in their
health, if the obstacles are removed from their homes and their immediate environment is adapted to the loss
functions of the elderly. As a consequence of the successful innovative model programme, in 2009 the
opportunity was created to apply for state funding to create obstacle-free housing for recipients of home care.
In the space of a month 2700 applications were submitted (of which a quarter were accepted).
Problem:
Many of the elderly persons in the sample had one or more falls at home before the alterations were made. In
more than a quarter of the cases these were caused by obstacles in their homes and not by their state of
health.
Solution:
The great majority of the alterations were made in the bathrooms that represented the greatest obstacle for the
elderly persons and where the most falls occurred (solutions e.g. bath replaced by a shower cabin, objects
moved, an average of four problems were solved). Other typical alterations involved eliminating differences in
level (e.g. removing the threshold), eliminating slippery surfaces, installing safety grips, adjusting the height of
the work surface in the kitchen as well as numerous other solutions not restricted to a single room. The
alterations to the flats were made in three different ways: a. with technically modern solutions (if they were
accepted by the elderly person); b. with a solution adapted to the knowledge and earlier demands of the elderly
person but one that was not up to date; c. with mental help, explaining the technical solution (often a time-
consuming procedure). In the course of the alterations it was often necessary to apply solutions falling in
category b.
Impact : The relatively small cost of the one-off alteration was only half of the cost of a one week hospital treatment for a
hip fracture and less than half of the cost of stay in a residential home for one year operated with state
normative funding. The elderly persons in need of care were able to continue living safely in their own homes
for a longer time or until the end of their lives, more independently. Quality of life of older people can be
improved by creating an obstacle-free environment. Such a simple measure with a cost-effective impact can
help to prevent hospitalisation or placement in a residential home.

implemented this GP as a pilot in 2003-2004. The pilot was followed by a large
scale call in 2009 at national level and has been replicated almost every year at
local level since 2011.
The final beneficiaries of the GP (pilot/replications) were elderly people over the
age of 65 receiving a basic social service. That means that HCSOM operated as
a programme operator (or execution agency) and elderly people receiving
continuous social/home care services could apply for the grant themselves jointly
with their service provider.

Summary of the good
practice
The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta (HCSOM) provides various services in the field of elderly and disabled care, as well as health care. In view of the existing significant social demand and the cost effectiveness of the programme on macro level, this is a good practice that clearly shows how both quality of eldercare and quality of life of older people can be improved by creating an obstacle-free environment. In the follow-up of the project the circumstances, incidence of falls and safety of the 20 elderly persons whose flats were altered in 2003 were examined one year later in 2004. After the alterations made in these flats there were no more falls or their number was substantially reduced. As there were no fractures the elderly persons were not in need of hospitalisation or placement in a residential home. The relatively small cost of the one-off alteration was only half of the cost of a one week hospital treatment for a hip fracture and less than half of the cost of stay in a residential home for one year operated with state normative funding. The elderly persons in need of care were able to continue living safely in their own homes for a longer time or until the end of their lives, more independently. It is very important to learn how an innovative model drawing on research results and ideas, elaborated and implemented by an NGO and with public funding could socially include older people. Furthermore it is also essential to build up trust capital with the general public, including the elderly. During the period of applications (2009), several applicants expressed their gratitude that someone is trying at the level of personal care to find a real solution to the problems that affect them on a daily basis. Trust capital based on earlier collaboration between the NGO and decision-makers also insures that even local decision-makers take a positive attitude towards the model. The NGO is able to convince local policy-makers to expand the practice. The latest example of this is the invitation for applications announced already in 2011 and again in 2012, 2016 and 2017 by a county seat (Municipality of Gyôr) on the basis of a contract signed with the Western Transdanubian Region of the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service for improvement of the living conditions of elderly persons. The practice pointed beyond the mandatory services set out in various acts and regulations, and expanded the possibilities of the institutional system serving the elderly by elaborating a suitable method and guidelines, providing means of dissemination for expansion of the practice.
3. Transferability
The “Transferability” section provides more detailed review of strengths and weaknesses of this GP project
including description of necessary basic conditions for region and leading organization to potentially transfer it.
At the end of the section, the key threats in the successful transfer open up possibility to focus on specific
relevant issues important for the successful transfer.
Strengths and weaknesses of the project

to achieve independent living by relatively low cost (decrease health and
social cost).

HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
Showing of improvement of the quality of life.
Showing transferability.
Elderly people in need of care were able to continue living safely in their own
homes for a longer time and need less help from others. After the alterations
elderly persons were not in need of hospitalisation or placement in a residential
home. It became clear that the removal of a few obstacles at relatively low cost
resulted in a positive change in the quality of elderly people’s life. The costs of
alteration undoubtedly represent a potential saving for the public sphere and
convinced the macro level to achieve independent living by relatively low cost
(decrease health and social cost) and improvement of the quality of life
What are the key
weaknesses of the GP
project?
Lack of public funds: the socially needy could be excluded from the
system
The most socially needy older people who do not have their own funds for the
removal of obstacles will not preserve their independence or cannot live a more
independent life. Those at financial risk will be excluded even if they know that
the cost of care paid by them in case of a residential home would be much higher
(monthly fee and often high entrance fee) than the small cost of the one-off
alteration. The public sphere therefore has great responsibility to include frail
older people by ensuring funds for creating an obstacle-free environment.
Basic conditions for successful transfer
Why is this GP project
transferable? –
innovation, impact,
financial, legal, and
timeframe aspects
Making homes of the elderly obstacle-free in various settlement types and
various housing types at relatively low cost with the aim of ensuring that the
elderly can continue living at home in safety, preventing fractures often entailing
hospitalisation, especially hip fractures that can result in mortality, as well as
avoiding or postponing admission to a residential home. Unmet need!
The pilot was based on a feasible and well established idea, involvement of the
target groups and promising tangible results.
Implementation was carried out by an experienced programme operator with
central PM and existing network for local execution (HCSOM).

4. Description of the GP project
The “Description of the GP project” section provides more detailed information on the Good Practice project
(GP project) and enables readers to get further detailed inspiration and easy ready-to-use information for
possible innovation transfer to other project applications. This includes: tackled problem, time length of the GP
project, objectives, phases, activities and deliverables of the GP project, its main innovation and target group.
Description of the tackled problem
What was the problem /
challenge tackled by the
project?
The objective of the elderly-friendly housing intervention model programme elaborated by a multidisciplinary team (engineer, sociologist, home helper), carried out by the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service (HCSOM/MMSZ) and financed by the government in 2003-2004 (pilot phase) and in 2009 (wide spreading) was to help frail older people with LTC need to continue living at home safely and independently despite their changed functions and the deterioration in their health by removing the obstacles and changing the environment in their home, adapting it to their loss of functions to avoid (as long as possible) moving into a nursing/residential home or spending lengthy periods in hospital. An investigation conducted prior to the alteration in a country town and a district of Budapest found that around half of the elderly persons living at home and in need of care have falls and around one fifth of the falls are caused by unsuitable conditions in the apartment, so it is vitally important to prevent falls.
What were the reasons for
the problem?
Society and decision-makers applied the concept of obstacle-free, indirectly via EU regulations and guidelines, to the following: obstacle free access to public buildings, making the area leading to them obstacle-free, obstacle-free public transport vehicles, and more recently the creation of obstacle free services and the creation of obstacle-free homes for the disabled, mainly the physically handicapped, and the provision of financial support for this purpose. As a result,
HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
making homes for the aged obstacle-free became generally accepted, but making the homes of the elderly obstacle-free was an unknown area. Home improvements for the elderly were understood to mean painting, renovations and improving conveniences. Even those who really tried to make their home obstacle-free were unable to alter their environment. The necessary approach was lacking. A regulation introduced in 1992 made it compulsory for new housing to have obstacle-free access. One of the important tasks of the 30,000 occupational therapists was to assess the loss of function of the elderly and the obstacle that had arisen for them and to report to the local government on the home alterations that appeared necessary. However, it was extremely difficult to obtain funding for the Hungarian model programme because of its different approach to the problem. In the end the Ministry of Youth, Family and Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities contributed to the launching of the programme in 2003–2004. The main goal of the 3-year model programme was to show that frail older people could continue living at home safely and independently despite their changed functions and the deterioration in their health if the obstacles in their homes are removed and their immediate environment is adapted to their loss of functions, and that it would have a remarkable cost effective impact on the macro level as well

Objectives of the GP project
Describe the overall and
specific objectives of the
GP project
The objective of the elderly-friendly housing intervention model programme was to help frail older people with LTC need to continue living at home safely and independently despite their changed functions and the deterioration in their health by removing the obstacles and changing the environment in their home, adapting it to their loss of functions to avoid (as long as possible) moving into a nursing/residential home or spending lengthy periods in hospital.
Phases, activities and deliverables
List all main phases of the
GP project including their
time length
In 2003 an experimental model programme ( with a 75 + age limit) had started in Hungary to enable elderly people to remain at their own homes by providing the necessary technical reconstruction and alterations.
- EU research programme in two Hungarian cities, in Budapest (3rd district) and Debrecen and then in an added rural area, the Tiszavasvári micro-region.
- Between 2003 and 2004 in the pilot phase 60 flats were reconstructed in total, the amount of each measurement was 300.000 HUF on average.
- The experiences of the model programme were summarized in a book in 2006, entitled as “Elderly people at home”
- As a result of this successful project and the effective former innovative models elaborated by the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service in 2009 the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour as the successor to the Ministry of Youth, Family and Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities initiated an elderly friendly housing programme to improve elderly people’s housing conditions with the improvement of their housing conditions by
HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
reconstructing and removing physically blocking objects. The Ministry delegated the implementation of the project to the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service.
- The call for proposal of the Elderly Friendly Housing Programme was announced by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour in 2009 January 23rd. (age limit was lowered to 65 +; applicants had to be recipients of care and in a functionally poor state. The maximum amount was 400.000 HUF (1600 EUR) / home, the available amount in total was 249.632.000 HUF.
- 2744 applications had been received in total, from which 704 applications were submitted for funding (the Ministry approved them as well). During the submission the main focus was on how the proposed technical reconstructions could improve the potential applicant’s quality of life.

List all main deliverables
of the GP project
The requests of elderly persons were always taken into consideration
even when they required an old-fashioned technical solution. The great
majority of the alterations were made in the bathroom that represented
the greatest obstacle for the elderly persons and where the most falls
occurred (solutions, e.g. bath replaced by a shower cabin, objects
moved, an average of four problems were solved).
Other typical alterations involved eliminating differences in level (e.g.
removing the threshold), eliminating slippery surfaces, installing safety
grips, adjusting the height of the work surface in the kitchen as well as
numerous other solutions not restricted to a single room. The alterations
to the flats were made in three different ways always taking into
consideration the request of the older person:
a. with technically modern solutions (if they were accepted by the elderly
person);
b. with a solution adapted to the knowledge and earlier demands of the
elderly person but one that was not up-to-date;
c. explaining the technical solution (often a time-consuming procedure).
In the course of the alterations it was often necessary to apply solutions
in category b).
In 2004 in the follow-up the circumstances, incidence of falls and safety
were examined.
Results
1. After the alterations falls disappeared or their number was
substantially reduced (no more fractures, no hospitalisation or placement
HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
in a residential home), that resulted in decreasing institutional costs. The
relatively small cost of the one-off alteration was only half of the cost of a
one-week hospital treatment for a hip fracture and less than half of the
cost of stay for one year in a residential home operated with state
normative funding.
2. The elderly could continue living safely in their own homes, need less
help from others.
3. In 2009 the government financed an obstacle-free housing program.
From 2700 applications 756 were granted, mainly in the poorest regions
in Hungary (Northern, North Eastern).
4. A municipality (Győr, Western Hungary since 2011 funds 5-6 obstacle-
free home alterations yearly based on a contract between two
stakeholders, the local government and the MMSZ (budget in2011,
5,000,000 HUF approx. 18,000 EUR).
Main innovation of the GP project
What was the main
innovation of the GP
project?
the project is oriented towards exceptional societal challenges/social
issues and created a new service
It suggests new solutions in the respective societal, cultural and
economic context
It creates new patterns of social practices to overcome shortcomings of
traditional arrangements
It tends to overcome the traditional dichotomy between technological and
social innovations
It promotes the integration and/or collaboration/partnership of
heterogeneous stakeholders that have hitherto not co-operated
multidisciplinary work is a value and principle
clients’ needs are at the centre of all interventions
individual care needs are assessed by a multidisciplinary team (with
multidisciplinary methods)
individual capacities of users/patients are enabled and strengthened
Target group of the project
Who was the main target
group of the GP project?
elderly persons over the age of 65 receiving a basic social service. The former
75 + age limit for the pilot programme was lowered to 65 + but there was no
change in the other conditions, that is, applicants had to be recipients of care
HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
(SME, LME, research
organization, university,

organization, other
(specify)
and in a functionally poor state. The lowering of the age limit was justified by the
poor health status of the Hungarian population as more than half of those over 60
already have one or more chronic diseases.
Describe the main target
group
The target group in the pilot period (2003-2005) was persons aged 75+ who
received at least one of the following types of aid: a) home help, b) home care
with alarm bell system c) elderly persons cared for by a family carer receiving a
nursing allowance, mainly persons living alone, or in the case of needy persons,
living with one other person (Social Welfare Act No III of 1993).
In the tender to widespread Elder-Friendly Housing Model in Hungary the age of
the target group was reduced to 65 years in 2009 as the figures of HLY in
Hungary are very low.
Region:
a) pilot phase: the capital, a big town, rural settlements
b) in 2009 in several settlements mainly Eastern and Northern backwards regions
in Hungary.
Numbers of target groups altogether approx. 800 (The proportion of recipient
granted in the backward regions was higher than in the more developed part of
the country (close to the Austrian border. As it is a relatively small number it is
not worth to compare it
5. Impact
The “Impact” section provides more detailed information on the effect of the GP project implementation and
dissemination of major outputs.
Impact
What was the level of
geographical impact of
the GP project? (village,

international, other
(specify)
First year (2003) the project eliminated the obstacles from the flats of 20 elderly
persons (over 75) in the capital (Budapest) and a large town (Debrecen).
Second year a further 20 flats in the same two locations and 10 flats in a micro
region (Tiszavasvári) were made obstacle-free. The 50 homes represented
various housing types: apartments made of prefabricated panels, detached family
houses, old brick buildings in the city centre, village or village-style houses. In
200, in the government financed an obstacle-free housing program. 756
HoCare - Elderly friendly Housing model
applications were granted, mainly in the poorest regions in Hungary (Northern,
North Eastern).
What were the final impact
indicators including their
quantification?
1. After the alterations falls disappeared or their number was substantially
reduced (no more fractures, no hospitalisation or placement in a residential
home), that resulted in decreasing institutional costs. The relatively small cost of
the one-off alteration was only half of the cost of a one-week hospital treatment
for a hip fracture and less than half of the cost of stay for one year in a residential
home operated with state normative funding.
2. The elderly could continue living safely in their own homes, and need less help
from others.
3. In 2009 the government financed an obstacle-free housing program. From
2700 applications 756 were granted, mainly in the poorest regions in Hungary
(Northern, North Eastern).
4. A municipality (Győr, Western Hungary since 2011 funds 5-6 obstacle-free
home alterations yearly based on a contract between two stakeholders, the local
government and the MMSZ (budget in 2011, 5,000,000 HUF approx. 18,000
EUR).
Describe the changes
resulted from the project
activities
higher quality of life
more independent living supported by quality care
lower possibility of further physical illnesses
postponement (or avoiding) the need to move into residential care institutions.
Elderly people could continue living at home safely and independently despite their changed functions and the deterioration in their health, if the obstacles in their homes are removed and their immediate environment is adapted to their loss of functions, and the alterations would have a remarkable cost-effective impact on the macro level as well. The action research that included different types of housing and was carried out in different types of settlements clearly showed the following : Obstacles in the home and not the state of health caused a quarter of the falls. The follow-up after one year of making a flat obstacle-free at relatively low cost clearly found a great reduction in the number of falls. But this success could be achieved only because the opinions of older people on the alterations were taken into consideration. Many of them not only preferred but wanted out-of-date, old-fashioned technical solutions, so innovative but tailor-made solutions were therefore needed. The life of older people who liked the alterations changed basically, ensured safety, security, freedom and increased their quality of life. At the same time, altering the home environment brings benefits at macro level as well. It was calculated that the relatively small cost of the one-off alteration is only half of the cost of a one-week hospital treatment for a hip fracture and less than half of the cost of a one-year stay in a residential home operated with state normative funding.
